Thanks to many donations, dedication of hours of work and prayer of numerous volunteers, what began as “Our Lady’s Garden” has now become the home to Our Lady of the Rosary London Diocesan Shrine. The original Diocesan Shrine was located in St. Bishop Sherlock then moved the site to St. Patrick’s Church in Merlin in 1998. The Rosary Trail has been created in the shape of a rosary and includes all twenty mysteries. The Saints Trail leads you through the lives of over 90 saints. The Stations of the Cross Trail leads you to the Pieta statue. The Marian Dogmas & Approved Apparitions Trail represents some of the locations in the world that the Church officially recognizes as places where Our Lady has appeared. All that you see here at the Shrine, including the numerous gardens, are maintained by volunteers.
